ARK ISTANBUL SHIP CHANDLERY Greeks like anchovy and Arabs like baklava a lot. The Turkish are visited by approximately 400 thousand vessels each year. The chandlers purchased by such ships for their personnel show their tastes. In my opinion, Arab sailors like Turkish delight and cezerye whereas Greek sailors like anchovy a lot. In parallel with the development of the maritime sector in Turkey, there were important increases in the turnovers of ship chandlery companies that provide materials to the foreign vessels. There are 4 agencies affiliated and 28 no – agency agencies affiliated currently operating in our harbours. Within the framework of the agencies operating in Istanbul, the authorities of ARK Istanbul Chandlery indicate that they sell materials to vessels arriving from different countries such as Costa Rica, Greece, Italia, Germany and Norway. Hakan Kahraman said: “This situation also affects ship chandleries. If the potential of the harbors is handled effectively, this will also have reflections on the ship chandleries.”
